At midday we arrived in the beautiful Santa Cruz, Tenerife, so we did a grab and go sandwich before we headed off on our excursion of the Northern Island, up, up, up winding round those narrow mountain oftain single track roads, down , down, down to what was described as the end of the road at La Roqua, for rough coastline, black volcanic sand, and then to a delightful restaurant for bread, cheese olives wine/water. After the snack more up, up, up to the Pico de Ingles and the views of two different landscapes on the same island. The mist was just starting to come down so we had a truly informative lesson about the trade winds, the effect on the landscape, more economy, geography and history before returning us to the ship around 5.
Now that was interesting.
Too early to eat, and as we were not leaving until midnight we decided to find a cafe with free wifi, and what a delight to make contact with home after all! So that was that, including a bit of Spanish football, tapas and beverages until 9, back to the ship for dinner and bed. A good day all round.
